Westcot was Disneys first idea for California, which later was scaled way back to create California Adventure. It was to include a dome that was almost twice the size of Epcot's, and a worlds attraction, while apparently (and here I'm fuzzy) have an area, not like the innovation area of Epcot, but of attractions from Disney parks around the world, including 7 Seas. Either way, it was never done, and as far as I know, never recreated. For now, I'm still on MK, and have struggled over the two mountains. Here are pics from Big Thunder Mountain Run:


This is the entrance to both Thunder and Splash: Note that they are closer together than in real life. I have had to accept what space I have to work with, and compromise sometimes.









Thanks for your interest.

I'm dropping this park from Rctspace and the forums here. Nobody seems interested, and I'm tired of posting when no-one bothers to take a look. I will post other parks here, but have to admit that I am really disappointed. I take a look at every park here and comment often. This park is a work of love for me, and i've busted my tail making it. I really would have liked a few people to take a look. For those few who did stop by, PM me if you want the park when it is done.

^I think it's because there's not much to say. We've all seen how good you are at recreations, I think people wanna see more of your creative side! (*cough*Inspiration Lake*cough* seriously, that was like one of the best parks on the site! let's see some more of it!!)

Sorry to hear you're dropping this. I've been crammed for time lately (school) so I haven't had as much time to check stuff out, analyze, and post solid feedback.

BUT since this is still open (and surprisingly I've got time to spare) I'll give some while it's here.

Archy - as usual, spot on. You really know how to nail the realistic style.

Landscaping/scenery - this is where your weaknesses lie. the canyon for the mine train seems a bit random and scrambled. It might just be because of the picture quality, I can't be sure. If there's any way you can variate the colors, that would significantly boost the realism. If you can't, the best thing you could probably do is to put some REAL dirt and rock in there (actual land, not scenery).

Also, it might be a little late now, but your water features (rivers and such) look a little....artificial. In order to have really nice looking ponds and streams, you need to use the mountain tool to make a trough of land, then raise the water so it's one square (or more) below land. If you have 8 cars, you can use the mountain tool even out of the SE.

Seriously, once you spiff up your landscaping, your parks will be spectacular.

OK, I'll make a deal. I'll finish Inspiration Lake, and I'll come back to this. So, it's not dead, just on hold for a brief period. Thanks cjman. As for landscaping, I haven't forgotten all of your advice. I kept losing my trees and such when I used 8 Cars that I am saving them until last. I'll make sure to post the final Magic Kingdom, but for now I'll do some more Inspiration Park.

I really appreciate your input my friend.

^Cool, I remember that park, So I'll be looking forward to it. BTW, anytime you need a comment on a park, PM me.

Looking forward to more as always.

Nice Park. I like a lot. Keep the ideas flowin'!

[dcornel]

As it turns out, I lost my Magic Kingdom when I ditched the add on packs. This is OK. I will redo the park from scratch after I've completed Lost Worlds, and then I'll create a new post. Could a Mod please kill this park? Thanks
